Edward Samuel Corwin
Edward Samuel Corwin (1878–1963) was an influential American political scientist and constitutional law scholar. He was a professor at Princeton University, where he made significant contributions to the study of American constitutional interpretation and political theory.

Corwin's writings helped shape modern understandings of the Constitution, particularly concerning the separation of powers and judicial review.
